The conference provides a space for discussion and debate for scholars in the humanities and social sciences working on various forms of mobility in Switzerland and beyond.
Presentations may address mobility in its diversity (from daily mobility and mode choice to alternative mobility, tourism, migration, etc.) and explore the following research areas:
- Theoretical debates (the contributions of social theories to the study of mobilities)
- Methodological innovations (using mobile methods)
- Public policy, decision making and regulation of mobility
- Actors and their logics of action (residential choice, mode choice, motivations)
- Norms, values and practices underlying mobility and social inequalities
- Rhythms and timescales of mobility (daily mobility, tourism, migration)
- Mobility infrastructure, accessibility and the production of space
- Socio-ecological transitions and future mobility trends
